Pope in hot water, these are very serious allegations by a senior member of the Catholic Church http://jrnl.ie/4202177
A former ambassador to the Vatican has accused Pope Francis of ignoring sexual abuse claims against prominent US cardinal Theodore McCarrick, who was forced to resign last month.
Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano said that he had told Francis, who is currently visiting Ireland, of the allegations in 2013, but that the pontiff instead lifted sanctions imposed on McCarrick by predecessor Pope Benedict.
Vigano's eleven-page letter was published simultaneously on Saturday in several conservative Catholic publications in the US.

In the letter, Vigano predicts a large-scale revelation of abuse in Honduras:
"In Honduras, a scandal as huge as the one in Chile is about to be repeated. The Pope defends his man, Cardinal Rodriguez Maradiaga, to the bitter end, as he had done in Chile with Bishop Juan de la Cruz Barros, whom he himself had appointed Bishop of Osorno against the advice of the Chilean Bishops."
